Abstract

Climatic adaptability should be one of the major considerations in selecting grass for the home lawn. Although grasses are very adaptable and can endure in a wide range of climates, use of the climate zone maps to select a naturally adapted “cool season” grass for the temperate zone or a “warm season” grass for the subtropical zone will offer more lasting satisfaction.
